    Classic Fifty 45 HP Hesitating

    I own a 77 Lund Pike 16 fishing boat. It came with a 81 2 cyl 40 hp merc with a 11" pitch prop. I replaced the motor with a 45 4 cyl with a 12" pitch prop. My problem is that the 40 would knock you out of the boat when you gave it WOT from an idle. The 45 on there now idles smoothly, goes at...
